Alarm clock & Wireless charger for hearing-impaired individuals
Routine is an alarm clock for hearing-impaired individuals that uses light instead of sound. It is designed to offer a pleasant morning with a soft light alarm. With the motif of the rising sun, it can also be used as an interior element. The practicality is added through the wireless charging function.

Problem
People have done a lot of research to start the morning pleasantly. As a result, now we have alarm clocks with different sounds and designs. However, alarms for hearing impaired individuals are still focused only on the functional aspects. A typical vibration alarm has a very strong vibration that surprises user in the morning. Smartwatches provide soft alarms, but the vibrations aren't strong enough, making them difficult to be used alone.
Solution
Light is a good alarm for hearing-impaired people. Some people make and use light bulbs that automatically turn on in certain time, and some people wake up by having the TV automatically turn on at a specific time. I tried to create a softer, more pleasing and more beautiful alarm clock using this method.
Time display
The current time is displayed on the left side, and the alarm time is displayed on the right side.
A Pleasant start of the day
User can set the time and maximum brightness of the alarm through the app. For those who want a soft alarm, user can set the clock to start brightening a few minutes before the set time. If the user does not wake up, the alarm starts blinking, awakening the user more strongly. Through this customized alarm, users can start the day more comfortably.
How to turn off
Turn off the alarm by pulling the ball-shaped switch.
Wireless charging
The pad has a wireless charger function that allows user to charge phone and other products.
Thank you.
